Sounds good. The code-assistance plugin looks like what I was going to
do, though it was going to be in Python.

I'll see about adding the feature to code-assistance though. Looks
like its time for me to learn some Vala.

There are a lot of C XML libraries. Perhaps I will use libxml from
Gnome, unless anyone has a better suggestion.

I quickly looked into this before. Vala has bindings for libxml but unfortunately not yet for the relaxng part of libxml. It should not be difficult to add those bindings, but you will need to write a .vapi file (or extend the original one). I can help you with this if you want.

 

 

Meanwhile, if you need it, here is my plugin for non-real-time validation:
